Telephone 901 MAIL ORDER TALK It has been said if city govern ment was placed on the same plan as the large corporations are run; a manager employed and he given full sway with a certain tax levy, the residue of which after all ex penses were paid to be considered a* a private profit, limited only by the condition that he should fur nish an administration equal In its effectiveness to the present plan, municipal affairs would be run on a basis so far cheaper than the preg ent costs there would be no com- parison, But even then everyone would not be satisfied, Humanity will never reach that state of mind until taxes are nil and everybody has his or her opportunity to take a hand in the "municipal bossing." In the meantime the present forms allow a goodly share of the taxpay ers an opportunity to express them selves; the only drawback being that the "machinery is so complex and the friction of its parts so great it re quires considerable oil.” Mr. Nlelson’B charge to Western World Is appreciated. A wholesome discussion of any subject reacts to a greater knowledge and better und- erstanding on the part of all con- corned. ♦ ♦♦««♦♦♦«♦«♦♦♦a ♦ PHILOSOPHICAL CHORDS (By * Railsplitter) ♦ ♦ * • « « The ground hog is the biggest hog of all. Even the polygamist has visions of renewed business activity. The true blue patriot is the man who works for economic Justice. He who knows the hitter sting of poverty's lash must first have felt it. Under normal conditions men would do right. No man is dishon est because he prefers to be so. Church organizations eliminating the negro evidently believe that the soul is only skin deep. Man, mind, to think. It logically follows that the individual who al- lows another to do his thinking Is of a lower order. It might pay to watch the moral delinquent who asserts that there is no sucli thing as honor among mon. Even In the face of the uncertainty of war. land values are advancing In Germany and England; and rents are rising accordingly. In the physical make-up of this man animal there Is a goodly supply of yellowish-green matter deposited somewhere among the organs of di gestion called gall. There is also a small portion of grey matter secret ed in the apex known as brains. Don't mistake the two. "Prosperity Is here,” so the news papers say—but our prosi»erity Is a good deal like Greek liberty. It was there alright, but only a few of the privileged class got any of ft; The rest were Helots.—Bolton Hall.
